Making a trusting and cohesive team

"My project is about employee communications," Let announced.

With the constant changes in the workforce, it benefits both seasoned and new employees to learn to work together more effectively. A Gen Xer and a more senior manager bring different values and belief systems to the job.

Team building has proven successful in changing behaviour, ultimately making for a more cohesive and trusting team.

Several factors impact the overall effectiveness of any team. Communication skills are critical and can often make or break an otherwise effective team. Creativity and probelm-solving abilities frequently come into play, as well as interpersonal skills such as developing rapport and trust. Discovering that 1 person's actions can influence the effectiveness of the entire team is a great learning experience.
